Office

Friday, May 1st, 2009

The office is looking a hot mess.

I really need to figure something out. The wall light is killing me, our paperwork is out of control and there are cords everywhere…but at least I have a new solution for my purse…

Should I add shelves or something? I’m worried about closing in an already tight space with too many built-in features. I already kind of hate the layout of the desk and don’t want to slap more stuff on for just giggles. Then I have this idea about installing a shallow shelf that runs all the way across the wall above the door frame. I guess it wouldn’t be very accessible for storage.



Suggestions?

Make your home happy with vintage things. It is probably the best way to show your house you love it by getting special items available from BRICK HOUSE VINTAGE.

Did I say probably? I meant certainly.

Black Bathroom

(via Remodelista)

If I had cash for a real remodel I would definitely go all black and white in the pink bathroom.

Black penny rounds would go everywhere on the floors and lovely white subway tiles all over the walls. Its a classic look but still modern with a totally great retro flair.

Remodelista has a great round-up of black tile that is making me crazy.

Stupid pepto pink tiles. I know some folks really adore them – I thought they were cute too when we first moved in.

Now…not so much.

They aren’t like cute fun baby kitty pink, they are like beige molting pink and always remind me of sickly feverish flesh. Some of the tiles are cracked and most are not in great shape. I know when we go to resale the house that bathroom might be a BIG issue.
